May 2008Europe's Enduring Anti-Americanismby Michael Cox"Anti-Americanism has embedded itself in a very profound way in Europe's foreign policy discourse. . . . This fact, more than any changes about to take place in the White House, will shape the transatlantic relationship for years to come."

October 2006The Ukrainian Gas Crisis Revisitedby NIKOLAI SOKOV"Russia's gas price policy, however badly and arrogantly executed, was perhaps not unreasonable. In fact, it may serve the long-term interests of the international community, and even Ukraine."

March 2003Bringing Turkey into Europeby Mujeeb R. Khan and M. Hakan Yavuz"While the goal of earning EU membership has been central to the recent push to implement significant political and legal reforms in Turkey, it still remains to be seen whether Turkey's Muslim heritage, large population, and economic underdevelopment will remain immovable obstacles to full membership. It is now clear that this is a decision that can no longer be indefinitely postponed by Brussels or Ankara."

December 2002Same War, Different Views: Germany, Japan, and the War on Terrorismby Peter J. Katzenstein"The tendency of the Bush administration to frame terrorism as a threat posed equally by evil states and nonstate groups is . . . distinctive. It is easy to lose sight of how atypical, even among liberal democracies, are the American view of international life in Manichaean terms and the American emphasis on the military dimension of society. Germany's and Japan's very different approaches to counterterrorism are useful reminders of American exceptionalism."

November 2001A Dream Become Nightmare? Turkey's Entry into the European Unionby Ersel Aydinli and Dov Waxman"As long as Turkey's desire for EU membership represented an abstract ideal . . . , Turkey's military and civilian elite could avoid acknowledging the potential political costs of membership in the eu. And as long as the Europeans kept Turkey at arm's length, that elite's willingness to implement the domestic reforms necessary for EU membership was never put to the test."

January 2000Turkey's Fault Lines and the Crisis of Kemalismby M. Hakan Yavuz and Mujeeb R. Khan"Kemalism has been superficially Western in form while remaining rigidly authoritarian and dogmatic in substance. It continues to stress republicanism over democracy, homogeneity over difference, the military over the civilian, and the state over society. . . . Its quixotic quest to radically recast Turkish culture, history, and identity has ensured a permanent kulturkampf against society."
